Wish we could come up with a weather forecast that far out.
I'll be there. Last year was the first chance that I've gotten to go, and it was a blast. Lots of great people and vendors. The shoot was a lot of fun as well!
I'll be at the BCY booth. We missed the last one due to a scheduling conflict, but looking forward to being there this time!

Awesome list Dave. I didn't see the Professional Bowhunters Society (PBS) on there, but rest assured we will be. As an added bonus, everyone who signs up to be a new member, OR renews their dues AT THE EXPO., will be placed in a drawing that one lucky winner will win these arrows...(if you are not present at the end of the event, I will mail them out to you).
